    Think Mexican Wrestling with the full masks and costume, burlesque show, and a pair of comedians. Worth the price of admission, worth going to see it to belies it. A fun, interactive show. One note: it is worth it to get good ringside seats and/or get there early. Show started at 8, if you don't have reserved seats, I'd get in line at 6:30.

    Lucha VaVoom is at the top of my Must See Events in Los Angeles. Mexican Wrestling and Burlesque dancing and two comedians acting as MCs and cracking wise throughout. Once I saw it, I became pretty much committed to dragging all of my friends to future shows to share the wonder, cheesiness, sexo y violencia of Lucha Vavoom.
    Adding to the fun is the locale. The Mayan is a gorgeous venue and seems like a throwback to the day when theaters were palaces. The only problem is that, for concerts, all of the engravings and what not mess with the acoustics so you basically have to be in the very front to hear the show. The balcony (again, for concerts) is sonic death as the bands sound muffled.
    But for Lucha VaVoom, any seat is grand. I always hangout at the side bar, which is usually not too packed but still has a solid view of the Lucha and the VaVoom.

    **Sexo y Violencia**

    From the 1st time I heard about this event, I had always wanted to check it out but Lucha VaVOOM is one bad ass event and you can't just go with anyone. Stars aligned  and I FINALLY got to go in May. IT WAS THE BEST THING OF OH TWELVE!!  Let me tell you!

    There were midgets, Mexican wrestlers, Aztec dancers, folklorico dancers, gorgeous burlesque dancers, MCs coming out to obnoxious reggaeton music and crowd participation.
    MC: LUCHA
    Audience: VaVOOM!!!!

    Get there early to avoid a bitch ass line, get liquored up at the bar and prepare yourself for some sick & twisted entertainment. The show is nasty, raunchy, bizarre, ridiculous and at times just wrong. I had a mother effin blast! Soo nice, I gotta hit it up twice. They are doing another one this coming Thursday. Y'all should try to check it out if you can scoop some tickets.

    Your Homegirl,
    Violy

    P.S.
    2 things I wanna point out
    1) - If you get general admission tix, balcony seating is 1st come 1st served. But there isn't a bad seat in the house so no need to fork out extra cash for the ringside seats.
    2) - Line gets insane at the ladies room *All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom, all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom* <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DN2wqmGu1EY8&s=7f89ac6a09e18a3811ac6f2a598d3845aac281cf3dbf89f0f55cef707c684363" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>

    The best time you will ever have in your life, where your wildest imagination comes to life. Bizarre, weird, crazy, hilarious - amazing.

    You won't understand the scope of this place until you see it for yourself.

    Get there early for the car parade and prime real estate

    Lucha VaVoom was definitely the most entertaining way I've spent Cinco de Mayo.

    The show alternates between folklorico, strip tease and lucha libre. Some acts were funnier than the others and some were just downright bizarre. My favorite part was when Crazy Chickens wrestled against evil luchadors. I'm embarrassed to admit that I could not help but scream like a 15 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert when little Crazy Chicken came out. Maybe it's their "cute" costume, or maybe it's their catchy theme song and dance, either way, they really know how to work the crowd!

    We sat behind the ring, which was a great spot to watch wrestling but not for folklorico and strip tease. I think the best spot was in front of the stage (standing only). If you want to take part in the action, stay on the right area of the stage where all the performers stand by and get ready.

    After the show, they dismantled the stage and ring to open up the dance floor. There were 2 types of music: Latin music on the main dance floor and electro/house type of music on the 3rd floor.

    After reading one reviewer, I have to add that there are 2 bathrooms in the venue. Also, at the beginning and end of the show, they were playing BANDA music not house.

    The show was completely entertaining and impressive. I went in expecting sub-par wrestling with more emphasis on the burlesque and comedy and attention to the glitz and glamour, but actually the wrestling was pretty good. I was particularly taken aback by the Crazy Chickens, Lil Chicken, and Cassandro were massively awesome. Cassandro even jumped off the second story balcony down to the seating area (cleared by the bouncers prior) and did some damage to his leg but kept on with the match. That is dedication! I hope he is doing alright.

    The burlesque dancers got better towards the end of the show. My personal favorites were Karis and Michelle L'Amour. Karis for pure skill, agility and talent and Michelle for her sweet and sultry styles which I have been trying to mimic since the show.

    The plots and showmanship were truly great as well.

    Amazing entertainment value.

    If you might be turned off by pro wrestling, don't worry, it's hard to call what they do here that. It's more like a party or a concert.  After leaving my first Lucha VaVOOM show, reflecting on what went on inside the ring, I felt like the business had been bastardized. But then I realized that had happened long ago, probably around the time David Arquette won the WCW World Heavyweight title, if not earlier, and got over it.

    This is unlike any another lucha venue and crowd you'll encounter.  For starters it's at The Mayan so there's a bar as opposed to a snack bar.  When not backstage I mainly hung out on the balcony.  It's more accessible than the packed floor and a better spot to take everything in. There were several "C" list celebrities in attendance, including the aforementioned David Arquette, and then Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee Herman), SpongeBob, and wait for it...Grant Show of Melrose Place fame!  There were others, but Grant Show made me forget the rest.

    So this is one of my all time greatest life moments: I had driven the main eventer (Dr. Wagner Jr.) to this show, and when we go right to the VIP entrance to get in, I see Grant Show on the other side waiting in line with the commoners.  So yeah, the day I die I can always say for one night I was more important than the guy that played Jake on Melrose Rose.

    The other highlights for me were observing the Burlesque girls backstage, hanging out with midgets, and watching Mistico (now known as Sin Cara in WWE) basically acting like a dick and having plenty of "bacne" on him. Guess they didn't have a Wellness Program for the talent.  I think I also saw more dancing from the luchadores than the Burlesque chicks.  The guys even danced with their opponents.

    It was Halloween week when I went but it's not a stretch to think the way the performers and crowd were dressed would be the same any time of the year.

    I love Lucha more than most things, and every time I go it just gets better and better. This Valentine's day was nothing short of spectacular.
    Dirty Sanchez and his Dirty girlfriend, Mini Chicken, a leap of faith balcony jump, and burlesque a plenty.

    This is the one thing I will miss about LA, even though Denver has a Mayan Theater there is no Lucha. I'll definitely be flying back once a year or so for one of the 3 shows a year they put on.

    Got me and my buddy ringside seats to this spectacular event. What better way to spend Valentines Day then seeing some sexy striptease and luchadores beat each other up. Followed with crude humor from the commentators, with special guest Drew Carey, and alcohol it is a man's paradise. Testosterone levels at the maximum!

    The Buxoticas (burlesque dancers) started the show off and would come out after every luchador match. They were sexy and got sexier as the night went on. My first time seeing booby tassels and when they spin they were mesmerizing. They sure know how to show the love especially on Valentines Day.

    Every wrestling match was so funny to watch. Each luchador had their own personas and crazy theme music. From Chocolate Caliente, Dirty Sanchez, and to the Crazy Chickens each one was more hilarious then the next. So much fun seeing them fly all over the ring and even into the crowd. My favorite moment was when Mrs. Dirty Sanchez soiled herself after a devastating butt slam to the ground. Poop jokes never get old.

    Just a fun and unique experience. Definitely got my moneys worth and I have to come back again. I probably said it a hundred times that night, but when they say lucha you just have to say VAVOOM!

    I caught Lucha VaVOOM's 2012 Valentine's Day Special Show, Lucha is for Lovers, at the Mayan Theatre in Downtown LA. For 3 hours or so, we were entertained with Lucha Libre wrestling, some talented burlesque dancers, comedic hosts, and even a wedding ceremony. Over the top at times, it was still some pretty good, clean fun!

    Tip: Doors open an hour before showtime. For good seats, get there early!

    Weird. Awesome. Crazy. Dirty. Gross. Cool. What can I say? When I was there, they had a wrestler named "Dirty Sanchez", whose moves lived up to his namesake! They also had burlesque dancers, midgets (er, little people) wrestlers, comedians making fun of everything going on and other things I probably should have noticed but didn't.
    If you have a sense of humor, totally worth going at least one time...

    This has to be the most bizarre show I'll ever watch. But would I watch it again? Hell yes.

    You really have to know what you're getting yourself into before you spend the 35 dollars and commit to 3 hours of Mexican wrestling and Buxotica (exotic dancing). This is the promo reel I watched before attending.

    <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXutwpwoC1lw&s=596f62d581a61ef34db06d4b83ed85ff13d7c776414e1a681b271057988a8ff6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>

    If you still think it looks cool, then please check this show out. It's sooooo much fun and I hear it's only gotten better in the last couple of years.

    TIPS:

    - I thought the balcony seats were fine and they're half the price of the ringside seats. You're not up close to the action, but you can see everything. One might argue that the view is a bit better, since you can see everything happening all at once. Check out the pic I took from my seat.

    -The balcony is first come first serve. So if you go with a big group, get there early and wait in line before the doors open.

    - Parking is pretty easy, but naturally costs more the closer you park. 10 dollar parking in the lot next to the Mayan. If you don't mind walking a block, there was 5 dollar parking on the SW corner of Hill and Olympic. If you don't mind walking a couple more blocks, street parking is FREE on 11th.

    i've been dying to go and i have to say the wait was well worth it. The bar was open all night, the mariachi band was jamming out side. Then you enter and center stage is the Ring. Once it starts they explain all about Lucha libra wrestling

    Then it starts so the order goes, striptease, lucha libra wrestling, striptease,

    They do switch up the striptease, there are two males they do a strip the first one is funny a cowboy on a horsepogo stick and the other male tears it up with a hulu hoop. The women work there thing and end up with tassels and a thong.

    The Lucha Libra's all have great costumes and theme music, they put on a great show and the MC's did a good job keeping the crowd laughing.

    FYI pay a little extra and get the seats close to the ring, but be prepared to catch a flying Lucha Libra

    Finally, yes finally I have arrived and will not turn back.

    I've been wanting to come forever and never knew someone wanting to go , I have met that person and we will be coming back often.

    I can't even begin where to start..

    Just from the ease of parking $10.00 across the street

    To waiting in line for will call ( easy breezy)

    To all the eye candy and muscle cars parked up front to the mariachi's playing... all my favorite things wrapped into one event and that's just outside waiting to get in.

    Obviously I'm in  heaven now so throw some Lucha Libra wrestling and mixed it up with some very sexy ladies baring down to just g-strings and nipple tassels and you have LUCHA VaVOOM!

    If you want to be where all the action is I suggest you buy ringside seats, but beware a midget chicken wrestler will be thrown into the audience.

    I had soda for the evening, but fully stocked bar, well stock of merchandise and for a decent price

    If the entertainment isn't enough, the crowd is entertaining in itself

    I enjoy especially the fact you can mingle with the wrestlers

    I had me a Dirty Sanchez

    I didn't know Lucha had a Yelp page until just now!

    This is an event I look forward to every year, sometimes more than once a year.  We haven't got one in northern California for quite a while now, but I've traveled to catch a Lucha VaVoom show before, and I'll certainly do it again.

    Way back sometime between 2001 and 2003 I became familiar with the Velvet Hammer Burlesque that I was lucky enough to catch at San Francisco's Great American Musical Hall twice.  When I found out that some of the same girls were involved in an event called Lucha VaVoom that involved classic Mexican wrestling (luchadores), wise-cracking emcee's (picture younger versions of Statler and Waldorf of The Muppet Show), and burlesque strip-tease between the matches in some of California's (and now the world's) most beautiful theatres, I was instantly sold.

    I kid you not, your face will be sore from smiling so much, and you may even lose your voice for a day or so from hooting and hollering, cheering the technicos and booing and hissing at the rudos!

    Lucha VaVoom is much more than just a show though.  Hang out with your friends, dance to DJ Senor Amor's amazing tunes, have some cocktails, watch classic El Santo y Blue Demon films, crack up with Blaine Capatch, and take photos with your favorite luchadores and strip-teasers after the matches are through.  More importantly, you will be completely thrilled at high-flying, action packed wrestling from both the men AND the women, and you will have chills down your spine from the lovely ladies (and some men!) who tease you from the stage throughout the night.

    Front row seats, beware!  You may have a luchadore in your lap before the night is through!

    Once again i was invited as a V.I.P to attend Lucha vaVoom in L.A for the Halloween theme in downtown L.A. As we pulled up in my friends 1959 Cadillac hearse their was already a line up and down the street people dress up in costumes and already drunk lol..

    Me and the crew park in the back alley cause we are driving up the luchadores in the back of our hearses and dropping them off in front of the entrance while being filmed. I was ask to be the door guy cause we were short on people so basically what i would do is open up the drivers doors to let out the luchadores and help the sexy women out of the rat rods and hearses much fun. Everything was being filmed while i was letting out the luchadores out of the cars so got to see my self on TV lol.

    Once the luchadores were inside the Mayan me and the crew headed back stage help out to bring in the casket  for show and grab a up close seat. I saw a lot of famous actors and singers i will not say their names but i did got to meet them talk with them and take pictures. Before the show started some hot girls offer to buy me some drinks and hell yes it was gana be a good night lol.

    The show started with a burlesque show  then into mexican wrestling with small shows in between much fun always a good show. If you think this is just pure Mexican wrestling your wrong this is pure entertainment with live burlesque show and much more. The show did sell out that night with 4500 people. The cost for this is $50 per person but let me just say its well worth the $50 dollars. Drinks are cheap $3 food is ok was cheap as well.

    If you haven't attended this event its a must it goes on twice every other month on a Wednesday and Thursday at the Mayan theater. Again pure entertainment check online for schedule dates at <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fluchavavoom.com&s=35cae981bc1ef6249d85bbc03c60586935681f650599b4f5fb52cb66f8e498e2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://luchavavoom.com</a> and GO!!!

    All in all 5 stars overall cant wait for the next one to see whats next who knows maybe ill be one of the Luchadores lol.

    Best free night out in a long time (thanks Hazel Q)!  Recommended and placed in the agenda for future use from a certain...

    I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to a show that would give Wringling Brothers a run for their money if they ever wanted to be on the Spice channel.

    What do you get when you mix burlesque, midgets, trannys, and colorful ridiculously rad costumes?  Theeeee Luccchaaa!

    Despite the fact that I had to "drag" (no he didn't go IN drag though that would have been rad) a friend out.. (whom subsequently thanked me profusely) we: me, said friend, & Angie had a friggin blast.

    Some of these girls have been doing the show a long time.  Lucy Fur is a gal I've seen/heard about on more than one occasion.

    The show doesn't go on all year round, and it's a bit of a shame.  However it makes it all the more desirable and awesome when you have a chance.  Hell, even if the venue it was at wasn't the best in this case, the show itself was rad.

    Colorful masks adorn fans and Lucha alike.  The announcers make for some raunchy side commentary.  It's not always the funniest material but the performers themselves are what you are there for.

    Rounds of Luchadores and then interludes with burlesque.

    Be sure to get as close as you can if possible & that your camera is fully charged with batteries. (Sadly mine died and I only got the 3 pictures here... however I did get video!)

    I only have one complaint: there was not a redhead burlesque dancer.  And if they need a volunteer for fulfilling that demand, well I guess I'd have to step up to the plate on that one.

    Oh. My. God. Never did I ever expect what I walked into at Lucha VaVoom.  Imagine circus meets burlesque meets wrestling.

    My friend had an extra ticket to the Lucha VaVoom event downtown at the Mayan which she so graciously offered to me. Never having been to an actual Mexican wrestling event, I jumped on the opportunity.
    After battling nightly rush hour traffic heading West to East, we finally arrived downtown. FYI there isn't parking so make sure to bring cash to park in a lot. I was amazed by the size of the venue when I walked in. It's enormous. And on top of that, it was packed. Who knew there were so many Lucha fans in the great Los Angeles area?!

    We had VIP seating so we were up close and right in the action. First up was a match between a man in fluorescent pink brief bottoms, a dude in tasseled red undies and a guy in an all white onsie with a fake pubic hair bush conveniently stuck to his private area. I wouldn't call it wrestling so much as a mixture of dancing, inappropriate human configurations and absurdity. I loved every minute of it. Every single minute.

    In between matches a burlesque dancer would come out give a sexy striptease for the audience. One dressed like count Dracula's wife, the other like a ghost. But no matter what their costume, they all ended up in pasties and panties. We even got the added bonus of seeing a nip when one of the dancers' boobie tassels fell off mid-performance.

    The rest of the evening included throwing of scantily clad little people (referred to as "The Minis"), crazy chickens running fighting the Chupacabra with this marvelous chicken dance song playing (which I of course  later found online and downloaded) and many vodka sodas.

    Unless you are easily offended, you NEED to go to this. GO GO GO. It's inappropriate, hysterical and completely unPC. It only comes to LA a few times a year, so make sure to check the Lucha site frequently to see what dates the Luchadores will be in town. ¡Sexo Y Violencia!

    I love the Lucha!

    Then again I was always a huge wrestling nerd as a kid. Get me around a couple big guys pretending to beat the crap out of each other and I am as happy as a clam.

    Now throw in a few attractive young ladies in thongs and tassels dancing for my enjoymen and my friends I am in heaven!

    The well stocked bar, mini versions of famous luchadors and attractive patrons were just the icing on the cake.

    Greatest 2 hours of my life! My childhood dreams of stepping into that squared circle came rushing back with a vengeance. Time to hit the weights.

    Saying I'm a fan of Lucha VaVOOM may be a stretch, but it was at least interesting (maybe 3.5 stars).  And it is worth the visit at least once.

    Held in the Mayan theater, you can get tickets near the ring or in the balcony.  I would suggest getting tickets near the ring.  The balcony (uncomfortable concrete bleachers) is first come, first serve.  Due to a lot of the cameras and audio equipment situated there, your view can be obstructed.  And if you come late, you may have a hard time finding a seat.

    The night is a mix of lucha libre (Mexican wresting) and burlesque acts.  You also get play-by-play commentary by comics (some even famous, I heard Patton Oswalt did it once).  The play-by-play commentary is very wink-wink (and filled with wisecracks) like Mystery Science Theater 3000.

    In terms of the wrestling, some acts were better than others.  For me, the closing act was the best (Cassandro--a drag queen, who is quite the performer--very funny, very original, and also extremely athletic).  Dirty Sanchez, who has some very fashionable pants, was also pretty funny.  Just Google him.  The crazy chickens were popular, but they didn't really do it for me.  The rest were kind of "meh."

    In terms of the Burlesque acts, they were mostly female acts though there were occasional male performances.  One male act performed some pretty impressive de-clothing while getting some serious hops on a pogo stick.

    Eat before you go.  I don't think there are many food options offered at the Mayan.   After the event, you can visit the floor and have your picture taken with the various performers.  It can be a long night (it ran over 3 hours), but it definitely may be worth a shot if you are looking to do something a little different.

    I can't remember when I first heard about Lucha Vavoom but I have always wanted to check it out. Lucha Vavoom is everything crazy about shows and life that I love.

    There's sex (simulated) and violence (controlled). And it's of course a pandemonium of a show with midgets, strippers, drag queens, people wearing scrubs and that's just the audience.

    So yes, there are the luchadors and the crazy sexy cool ring girls. While standing outside waiting to get in, I saw them arrive in old timey cars but since it was cold out, they ran inside instead of gliding in like the stars they were.

    Once inside, they mingled a bit with the patrons of the club. I think this is why the show started very late and ran long. But once they started, I didn't care. Heart pounding music! Strip teases. Hyper fast wrestling. Crazy stunts. And that's only if you watched the big screens everywhere.

    I much preferred watching the stage. You get the full picture there. Sitting upstairs, you got a pretty good view of it all but if you really want to be in the moment, sit around the stage. Those tickets may have been worth the $60 a pop.

    I also liked the announcers. They were pretty funny...except when they were plugging their main sponsor, the nasty tequila that I won't even name or drink over and over in every sentence.

    I had the best time! What a great show!

    Edgar has been to Tokyo and has seen the Kabuki... and the Bunraku puppet theater in Kyoto... and the Noh theater in Okayama.

    Edgar has seen August Wilson's "Seven Guitars" and Tony Kushner's "Angels In America" at the ACT... "Les Mis" at the Geary... and Bill T. Jones' dance troupe in NYC.

    Edgar has seen the pageantry of indigenous performances such as the spiritual Hoop Dance of the Hopi... the powerful War Dance of the Maori... and graceful Hula of the Hawaiians.

    But all that does not compare to the sublimity of Lucha VaVOOM!

    Holy... f*cking... cr@p... this... was... so... AWESOME!

    First of all, the Mayan Theater is a great f*cking venue. It's so f*cking beautiful and so f*cking ornate. And instead of f*cking cramped seats in the balcony area, the theater has carpeted amphitheater-like seating which lets the audience enter and exit easily and gives people the ability to schooch over when someone wants to squeeze in. F*cking great idea, you-motherf*cker-who-thought-of-this.

    Second of all, the people who come to Lucha VaVOOM are all pretty f*cking cool. Everyone was kinda dressed up (they didn't look all f*cking slobby - this is a form of theater after all) and most everyone was there to have a great time. F*cking awesome.

    Third of all, they served booze last night - which Edgar and Edgar's date could easily bring into the theater. How f*cking cool was that? She drank white wine (at a Mexican wrestling match? what?) and Edgar drank tequila shots (El Jimador their sponsors) and chased it with Bud Light and Coronas. F*cking crazy!

    And now to review the show itself...

    If you like Sex and if you like Violence and if you like Comedy and if you like Spanish covers of Rolling Stones tunes then this is the show for you.

    The sex comes in the form of the burlesque striptease shows performed by the Buxoticas - in American that means "Curvaceous and big breasted women in tiny little underthings and pasties shaking their moneymakers." Women with names like Lucy Fur and Moana Santana (she's my favorite) and Audrey Deluxe. How the f*ck could you go wrong with all this bodaciousness?

    The violence comes from the Luchadores (that's "wrestlers" in American) themselves - those mighty men in colorful masks and costumes so tight you can tell their religion. But it's not all smashing and mashing and bashing and lashing and crashing... these motherf*ckers are f*cking hilarious. There was the drag queen Cassandro who tried to steal kisses from his competitors... there was the villainous El Chupacabra who grabbed one of the Buxoticas and tied her against ring buckles during a match... there was Dirty Sanchez who sh@t his tights after being body slammed and kept smothering his opponents with his rather plentiful merkin...

    Edgar doesn't know if it was the liquor or the general Zeitgeist of the whole thing, but G-dd-amned it was all so much f*cking fun.

    Edgar was afraid that maybe Edgar's date would find all this chaos and cacophony all very weird, but she was actually rolling in hysterics at the whole thing.

    All-in-all, Edgar highly - no scratch that - HIGHLY recommends Lucha VaVOOM. Bring a date. Bring your pals. It's fun for guys. It's fun for gals. It's a great f*cking time.

    Cinco estrellas!

    Lucha Va Voom!
    Reason for going!
    Free general tickets from my friend Marty the Party!
    And when I looked at  their myspace page, it shows they have Strippers!
    That sold the deal for me!

    Whenever I go out, I always pre-party.
    A pre-party in the Mofo tradition usually consists of alcohol, grass and hot ass! And other illegal substances are welcome.

    STONER ALERT - from 1 - 5 bongs, 5 bongs being as high as the girl was in the movie Smiley Face. One bong would be like if you smoked some herb about 2 hours ago and you were almost sober.
    I was about 3 bongs high when we left my house!

    Oops I forgot!

    DUI ALERT
    - from 1 - 5 forty ouncers, 5 forty ouncers meaning you should have died
    behind the wheel! 4 forty ouncers, your drunk ass should go to jail! 3 forty
    ouncers, if you get pulled over, your going to jail! 2 forty ouncers, if
    you get pulled over, you might go to jail. 1 forty ouncer, you better drive
    looking for cops, but you can still finger the hot ass girl in your passenger
    seat while she's doing lines!
    I was 2 forty ouncers intoxicated, but I wasn't driving and there was no hot ass girl to finger or coke, I kid, I kid about the coke, it was an innocent night of beer, grass and ass!

    So here we go!

    Off to the beautiful O.C. land of evil, white girls with great, real, tanned
    asses!

    My partner in crime this night was my homie, the Great Rubino or
    12 bowl Ruben! Because he can smoke 12 bowls of herb and still function!
    He is truly a great stoner!
    12 bowl Ruben lives in Ana-slime, I mean Anaheim, so he's pretty familiar with the O.C..

    I live in Bellfower!
    All right, all right, FKN relax!
    Just because women have 8 babies at once here,
    doesn't make it low-life!
    My gardener is a white guy, so there!

    We pull into the Grove theater, I think it's called!

    SCANDOLOUS ALERT - 1 - 5 hands covering
    your face in shame. 5 hands would be throwing up, shitting and masturbating in public. 4 hands would be throwing up and shitting in public. 3 hands being throwing up and pissing in public. 2 hands, fighting and pissing in public. 1 hand just pissing by your car, what's the big deal?
    I'm sorry, I pulled a 1 hand in the parking lot of the Grove!
    And I never touched my tool of urination, so my hands were clean!
    You can do things like that when you are 9 inches flaccid.
    Remember, this review is for entertainment purposes!

    The will call line was a FKN mile long!
    I thought I was behind the Miss Octuplets family!
    WTF!

    We get our tickets.
    It was about 10pm and we get some beers and stroll to the show!
    Not too many hot girls at this point.

    The main arena is at capacity and the crowd was loud and really into it! Couldn't get a good view from the general area so we go chill in the VIP area lounge.  The lounge was almost empty but there were some hot, white girls in there!
    And they had some big screens showing all the Lucha Va Voom action!  

    The Lucha Va Voom wrestling and comedy skits were OK!

    The highlight for me was the women's tag team match because at the end of their match they ate the other girls Hearts with blood shooting all over the place! Nice!  

    But I was there to see the burlesque, strippers that were on the Lucha Va
    Voom myspace page.
    2 words!
    Moana Santana!
    She's hot!
    She moves Wicked and acts Twisted!
    Hey!
    I like that!
    She moves Wicked and acts Twisted!
    That will be my next Porno with my Yelp lover, Flower Tucci!

    Here Cums the sweet juice!
    I'm chillin in the main bar area!
    And here she Cums!
    She's Cummin all over the main bar!
    It's the exquisite, Moana Santana!
    She's Cumming right at me!
    My George St. Pierre like reflexes commands me to reach to my back pocket and get one of my promo flyers for my clothing biz to give to her!

    For some reason she stops right by me to talk to who ever.
    As I look at her maintaining my Stoned cool!
    I wait for the appropriate moment to give her my card and to tell her to hit me up on Myspace and check out my clothing line!

    So it happens.
    I do what I intended and I successfully hid my semi-erection while
    I was talking to her!

    The Lucha Va Voom is almost over.
    We decide to leave and we walk by a merchandise booth and all I see is LEGS!
    16 foot long legs!
    Legs that could easily do the Double D!
    Double D stands for the most rare of human acts, the Double Down!
    In other words, her legs are so long that her legs could wrap around TWO heads!
    Legs, white legs!
    Every brown, black and asian mans weakness!
    A white, american woman with legs that spread from east L.A. to Compton!

    Beautiful, white, tanned, toned, delicious legs with thighs in full, glorious, Revelation!
    She was sitting down, leaning back with Satanic intentions wearing a mini-skirt the size of my mustache!

    I'll skip the hoopla of approaching and meeting her.
    Her name is Robin and she's a DJ at Trip in Santa Monica on Wednesdays! Her DJ name is Placid Fluidity and I'll go check her out soon!

    It was a good time!
    Hot, white Girls and a Night without ending up in an O.C. jail!

    If you like lame-o WWF style wrassling, you're not cool enough to attend this. With that said, you're also not likely to find any event this fun, this random, nor this rowdy anywhere else.
    I'm highlighting the Halloween show...which very well may be far more exciting than the shows on any other night.  Halloween shows are extra fun because not only are the performers (burlesque ladies, comedians and naturally, los luchadores) dressed up, but you can too! And most everyone who comes is stylin' in some kind of awesomely offensive, tragically obscene, or just plain sexy getup. Makes for hilarious photos with people you don't know from Adam. And THAT is what makes this night FAR better.

    Anyway, who cares how much the drinks are?! If you want to get smashed for cheap, do it in the parking lot like we did! And then you can buy one or two or six of their heavily poured bebidas. Get there early if you're a cheapy and don't buy ringside seats...that is, if you want to have the option of sitting. And if you want to impress your date for the night, go all out and buy those ringside seats. She'll think its SUPER sexy when you run like a little girl trying to get away from the luchadores who land in your lap.

    And ladies, I recommend you have a catheter put in for the night or dress like a dude so you can hit up the mens restroom...otherwise, you'll miss half the show while some drunk ho pisses all over the seat and the toilet paper remnants on the floor in the loo.

    Oh, and if you happen to hear that Lucha is coming to your town....and your town is not Los Angeles, and its not going to be at the Mayan, then run far far away. Better that you drive into the hood, eat at the little Salvadoran hotspot across the street, and have much needed fun.

    I went to Lucha back in 2006 for my friend's birthday. It was a kickass good time!

    Burlesque dancers, Luchadores, midgets, the Chupacabra, comedy & booze.... what more could a girl (or guy) ask for in one evening?! Plus its at the Mayan! I love this place. Its so cool inside.

    I can't wait until it comes around again this year. I am soooo going to be there. Drunk and loud as ever.

    Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!

    I haven't had that much fun in a long time!
    Burlesque Striptease? Check.
    Mexican Masked Wrestling? Check. (Luchadores)
    Midgets? Check.
    Comedians? Check.
    Drag - cars & people? Check.
    Alcohol? Check.

    With a tagline of "SEXO Y VIOLENCIA" you gotta know what's up.

    We got ringside tickets, which are more expensive but totally worth it.  You're watching girls on swings, Luchadores called CHUPACABRA, Dirty Sanchez, Los Crazy Chickens (chanting "CHICKEN" has never been so fun!), and the final battle of Mexico vs. America vs. Gay Pride... I'm not going to ruin it for you, but it's a great fight!

    The burlesque!  owwww!  Those girls (and boys!) are good.  My favorite talent of the evening was the wonderful Karis, who I had the opportunity later to take a photo with.  He was superhuman with that HULA HOOP!  I've never seen anything like it!  Everyone was sexy and beautiful!  Great moves!

    Gorgeous, fun, exciting, thrilling, everything you want to get you on your feet and shouting for sex and violence like you never thought you would!

    Lucha VaVoom comes around a few times a year at special times like Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc.  So wait for it, it's worth it!

    Best. Valentines. Day. Ever.

    I highly recommend Lucha Vavoom for a fun date, or go with a bunch of friends.  

    Alcohol, beautiful naked girls, and wresting midgets. What's more perfect for Valentines Day date. After years of experiencing bad food, bad service, and overcrowded Valentine's Day dinners at normally great restaurants, I finally learned my lesson. No more fancy smanshy restaurants for me on Valentines Day. Most likely the kitchen is in the runts and they aren't doing their best back there. Which sucks!

    LUCHA VAVOOM was fun. Honestly, I was scared to go. I did not know what kind of crowd there was or if it would even be worth the price but it was was fun and I got the pit tickets.

    I got wrestlers thrown at me and some weird man at the end of the show humping my chair, but where else can I get this kind of interaction in a show?

    Hungry? There's a taco stand across the street and the bathroom ladies sell all kinds of goodies. Beer is actually sold in cans, which is convenient. I stocked up on it before the show, so I wouldn't have to leave.

    The wresting is just there for entertainment, nothing more. If you thought WWF was fake. This is super fake.

    AMAZING.

    I had so much fun! I could watch Los Crazy Chickens and Lil' Chicken for days. The Buxoticas were sexy and confident. The hula hoop act was definetly my favorite. And there was a pogo stick act that left me in awe- those were some serious thigh muscles. The comedians, the wresting, and the dancers all knew how to put on a great show.

    The balcony seats got uncomfortable after a few hours so I think next time I'll get ringside seats. It'd be great with a big group of friends too. I can't wait til the next show!

    Went to Lucha VaVOOM last night for the first night.  What a spectacle!  We had ringside tickets and were so close, you could see the cellulite on the chick wrestler's thighs.

    This was one of the funnest nights I've had since Monday!  

    Some of my favorite things:
    The burlesque show with the girl in the pinata bursting out and doing a trapeze act
    Dirty Sanchez and his muff (I have a picture with him that I will post for your pleasure)
    The blond hair Elvis twins
    Tequila (except it is not my favorite thing today!)

    Everyone needs to see this show and it is worth the extra money for the ringside tickets... even though I didn't pay!

    I went to Lucha VaVoom not knowing what to expect. We got there and got in the short line to show tickets and i.d. and I was already entertained by the random costumed characters walking around and the classic cars that were parked out front.

    Once inside we headed upstairs and enjoyed a number of burlesque performances, the hoola hoop dancer doode that everyone always thinks is a girl, the KFC dancer guy and who can forget the wrestling!!! I think my favorite part was the midget wrestlers being thrown around, the little ditty they play for Mystico and ahhhhh Cassandro is one of my favorites oh and the Chupacabra too!!! These characters are hilarious! I also liked that we got to shout VAVOOM every time the announcer guy yelled Lucha... buuuuuuut the announcer dudes are super hella annoying.

    I can't decide if sitting ringside and having wrestlers land on you would make this experience better or worse, but all the same I think I'm much more a Derby Doller than a Lucha fan!!!!

    This event is worth attending at least once in your life if you're an Angeleno...however it's a rather surreal experience.

    The wrestling wasn't as authentic as we thought it would be but the final wrestler (Mistico) did not disappoint: he did some crazy moves off the ropes and was well worth it!

    Some of my favorites? The midget wrestlers and the crazy costumes.

    My not-so-favorites....cross-dressing (ugly men dressed as women), jiggling flesh in all forms, overly crass jokes from the announcers, and some of the burlesque acts.

    The best freak show I have ever seen in my entire life! Lucha VA VOOM! Not to be missed! Get ring side seats, book ahead.
    The shows in between the wrestling went beyond my imagination. Better than a circus. I swear, the best show I have ever seen in my entire life! My favorites:
    * The wrestling flying midget - Cupido
    * Wrestler - Cassandro -(my name for her/him - The Chicita Banana Lady)
    * Wau-Wau Sisters!
    * Buxoticas
    * Lucy Fur!
    * Karis - (Don't let her fool you, she's not a she - watch her twirl that hula hoop, it's freakin amazing)
    * Poubelle Twins

    Valentine's Day will never be the same again...... Only in LA baby, Only in L A .

    Luch Vavoom 13 . . .  rocked my socks off!

    My favorite gal pal and I (Josie) ventured out into
    the night and enetered a world of mexican masked
    wrestlers, burlesque dancers and habitual drunks . . . Oh' Joy!

    At first I not only had to convince Josie to come with me,
    I had to twist her arm. By the end of the night she was
    so grateful to me for having done so.

    Once we arrived, we did not know where to begin. So we
    headed to the bar (always a sure bet). Then we watched
    whatever ricdiculousl act was going on! I beleive it was . . .
    "La Chupacabra" vs "Casandro"!

    The vibe was awesome, everyone was glued to center stage.
    Each wrestler has his/her own stitch. The dancers were all
    beautiful and iontoxicating.

    This venue (The Mayan) is what I consider to be the perfect
    place for this type of event.  Simply beautiful!

    It was the most ridiculously entertaining night I've had in a long time!

    Highlights include:
    -Dirty Sanchez shitting in his pants and wiping his ass on the opponent's face
    -The buxom babes of the burlesque show
    -"You know it's real Mexican wrestling when a black guy in slacks gets into the ring"
    -Hula hoop chick who turned out to be a guy (I knew she was too ugly...)
    -Cassandro and Chilandro kickin major ass, and Cassandro dancing in between wrestling moves
    -Ho White's strip routine and the Wow Wow Sisters...hot!
    -Best of all, the first ever Mini Battle Royale!

    Gotta love those minis!  Next time, ringside seats fo sho!

    Messicans!

    Midgets!!

    And more curvy buxom broads than you can imagine...and that's before you even get in the joint! Yes oh yes, Lucha is a must hit if you are lucky enough to live in or visit LA when it hits.

    It's all just a big pot of ridiculous, but therein lies the charm. Like Aunny D. I had an ex who took me to Lucha for Valentine's Day and seriously, that's romance. Keep your Hallmark cards, red roses and white teddy bears and bring on the little people wrestling 6 foot Amazons and get me a cocktail!

    It's also hitting this Halloweenie, so get tickets if you still can! :)

    Just like Aunny D. my finace and I went to Lucha for Valentine's Day. It was the best V. Day ever! We had great seating at a table in the little bar area they have set up at the top of the balcony. I loved watching the burlesque dancers and it wasn't hard at all to watch the wrestling on the huge screens they have hanging.

    My second experience, in march, got me closer to the ring! Ringside seats baby! This time, with a few friends, I saw all the action up close, and yes my friends and I had to get out of the way quick or get squished by flying wrestlers. I still love the burlesque performers, and the male stripper as the Colonel Sanders himself was finger lickin good! :)

    The downside? Expensive drinks. Lines for the girlsroom and not very clean. But I knew that goin' in. I've been to the Mayan before to see my favorite D.J. You just deal.
